Main priority/emphasis this summer/next year: DEFENSE!

It doesn't matter who the coach will be. Offense isn't and will not be a problem. We have Harden, Howard, Parsons, and players who are young and will grow/develop. I don't care about the Harden isos or lack of ball movement at times (or "sticky ball" that McHale refers to). Offense isn't a problem.

But defense is just pathetic this entire year. And it's not a coincidence we lost a series due to a defensive lapse.

If McHale stays, he must find an assistant that will emphasize defense from from the best players to the bench warmers. We can have arguably our best player in Harden sucking like a mofo defensively, even in the most important games of the year. We need someone who will develop a defensive philosophy that will feature Howard, who seems to finally regain his superstar game.

If McHale goes, Morey needs to find a defensive oriented coach.
